Sorry Jizz, I'm too tired and lazy to seek out the other thread....
I'll take answers from anybody and everybody on this...
How do non theists feel about death... or after death to be more accurate? Could a non theist possibly be open minded to the idea of an afterlife of some sort? I'm not talkin about the concept of a heaven and/or a hell or, ''You've been a bad person, therefore, you will be reincarnated into an arthropod!'', type of scenario. ... I'm just trying to figure out ... does the concept of an afterlife, reincarnation and/or ''eternal life'' require that one actually adhere to a religion and if so, why?
I've always wondered about this, but it seldom ever occurred to me to ask.
